Mayor of London aims to cut business waste by 70%

Businesses in London should seek to recycle, reuse or compost at least 70 per cent of their waste by 2020.

That's according to a plan launched by the city's mayor, Ken Livingstone, who detailed the recommendations in a draft strategy, Making Waste Work in London, published for consultation.

The document also lists targets for recycling and reuse in waste from construction, demolition and excavation, with a 95 per cent goal set by 2020.

"The aim of this strategy is to ensure by 2020 business waste no longer undermines the capital's future as a clean, green city," Mr Livingstone said. "We need to work with businesses to reduce the impact of business waste on our environment and cut climate change emissions."

Wherever possible we need to use waste to generate clean, renewable energy, turning it into a resource rather than a problem to be dumped

There will now be a three-month period to allow the public and businesses to respond to the proposals laid out in the consultation.
